Sweden’s Thrash / Death Metal newcomers BLEEDING UTOPIA have released their debut album "Demons To Some Gods To Others". The band started out as a side project back in 2003 and really became a full time band in 2009. Consisting of ex members of ASTRAL CARNEVAL, SKYFIRE, and LOCH VOSTOK these guys have much to […]
Poland’s Black Metal horde DEMONIC SLAUGHTER ain’t any rookies in the Polish underground Black Metal scene regarding their back catalog of releases that they have got out since the band was put together in 2006: 3 full-length studio albums and 3 EPs are DEMONIC SLAUGHTER’s achievements within those 6 years the band has existed. That’s […]
California-based Death Metal act RISE, made a visit to Hungary in 2000 to record their 3rd full-length studio album there, using HSB Studios for their recordings. The album was named as "Divine Aeternum", showing a clear musical development from the band’s two previous albums, "Slaves of Illusion" (2000) and "Shadow Of Ruins" (1999), that are […]
I want to get straight to the bone marrow here. SCYTHE from Chicago, USA, is a Black Thrash’n’Rolling Death Bastard Swamp Metal spawned from the ashes of USURPER. Mainman Rick Scythe used to lead that band and after it broke up, SCYTHE was born and sort of carries the same torch! The big difference though […]
How is it possible that this California-based Death Metal trio called RISE, has managed to stay in the dark shadows from me for so long, without me seeing even a glimpse from them for all these passing years? The band has been active since 1992 with different lineups – and already released 4 full-length studio […]
Spain always had quite a good amount of remarkable Death Metal bands, especially some of the younger ones, such as ATARAXY, MORBID FLESH or DOMAINS really got my attention. GRAVEYARD from Barcelona is also a very noteworthy band of that new generation. Okay, after a demo, several split EPs and a full-length I shouldn’t call […]
Re-awaking the gods, yet an blasting attack of old school Death Metal straight to my face. This time we are heading to Germany and this band’s first demo release "Death Evoked", 4 tracks of utterly rotten Death Metal from the netherworld. Countless bands have found back to the Death Metal sound of the early 90s, […]
An increasing, countless number of new, old school sounding Death Metal bands have constantly been invading our households for some years already, making all of us to feel like they have always been lurking there somewhere, and just waiting for the right time to get our houses thoroughly mangled inside out. The Swedish slaughterhouse messiahs, […]
Resembling on the surface something from a forgotten Death Metal album, “Totentanz,” by Ukraine’s THUNDERKRAFT advances upon the battlefield with a different sort of armored tank division. Truly I don’t mean to poke fun but there are times during this record when I wonder just what the hell happened to BAL-SAGOTH? For that matter, what […]
This is my first encounter with the Australian horde IMPIOUS BAPTISM, a band consisting of J of, just to mention a few, SITHLORD, DESTRÖYER 666 and HOBBS’ ANGEL OF DEATH, a man that have been somewhat around as an armageddon drummer and bringer of warfare. He is now ready with his own entity and the […]
